Tutorial: Momoware bun ring

The hairstyle worn by the maiko in the picture above is called momoware, meaning split peach. Here's how I made a bun ring to make my own version of this hairstyle.

1. Cut the toes off two socks

2. Turn the socks inside out and place one inside the other

3. Starting at the top of the sock, roll both layers outwards

4. When you reach the end, tuck it under and sew 

Make the hairstyle like a normal sock-bun, then pull the hair to the sides to expose the red fabric of the bun ring. Add a sparkly clip to the centre of the bun, and a hair stick.
